Firstly I would like to congratulate Nicholas and the Akeeba team on Admin Tools Pro 2.0. It's an awesome component that allows me to sleep better at night!

There is one thing though I would like to ask. Everytime I log in at the backend I get a security exception "admin query string".

My question is if I enabled "Auto-ban Repeat Offenders" would I be banned myself?

I'm using Joomla 1.5.22 with an administrator secret URL parameter and a password-protected administrator area.

Yes, you are correct. I have now fixed this issue in the latest developer's release. Please install that release on top of your existing Admin Tools Professional installation and it will not auto-ban you when you try to log out of your site's back-end.

I installed the latest developers release and it's working perfectly now. I also like the quick links you have added to the Security Exceptions Log page to add/remove someone from the ip blacklist. It saves time and makes thing easier. Many thanks Nicholas! I'm very impressed with software you produce!
